Re: [emf-dev] Understanding Eclipse modelling framework.........

Nadathur,

We'd prefer to get user questions on the newsgroup rather than the mailing
list so please try to use the EMF newsgroup for your questions.

You might be interested in this draft article
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=169108 because it shows how
to do all this directly via the UI.  This article shows how to create a
model dynamically http://www.devx.com/Java/Article/29093/0/page/1.  In
general, all the documentation resources we know about are listed on the
documentation page http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/docs/ so if you
don't see it there, it more likely than not doesn't exist.  An EAnnotation
consists of a source URI that's used to uniquely identify the type or
origin of the annotation and a list of key/value string pairs and can
contain or reference any other EObjects.  This article shows how they are
used to record information about the originating schema for models that
originate as a schema
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/docs/overviews/XMLSchemaToEcoreMapping.pdf.

Hi,
      I was searching on the internet for understanding xmi formats and to
convert uml diagrams to xmi and vice versa. And i found emf. The
documentation was readily available , besides the usage of emf in eclipse
has been explained .However i would like to use the apis for readin and
writing xmi . Are there any resources explaining the purpose of the
interfaces , or maybe small sniplets explaining their usage ??? .
             For example , how to create a single class and add methods to
it........for example in what way is 'EAnnotation' interface used ? and
what do you mean by setSource ....etc......? Please dont consider these
queries as silly . I am rather interested in EMF and i want to understand
how to use it .

thanking you  ,
